Jet Fuel and LPG Prices Surge Amid Global Trends

Prices for jet fuel and commercial LPG have increased significantly, aligning with international oil price trends. Jet fuel saw a 3.3% rise, while commercial LPG rose by Rs 62 per cylinder. These adjustments follow previous price reductions, highlighting volatility in fuel pricing.

In a response to shifting international oil price trends, the cost of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) and commercial LPG has surged. As of Friday, ATF prices saw a 3.3 percent increase, while commercial kitchen LPG experienced a Rs 62 hike in a 19-kg cylinder.

Specifically, ATF's national capital cost escalated by Rs 2,941.5 per kilolitre, equating to Rs 90,538.72 per kl. Mumbai's pricing jumped to Rs 84,642.91 per kl, as reported by state-owned fuel companies.

The price increments mark a reversal from earlier reductions that had brought ATF to its annual low. Despite the hikes, domestic cooking gas prices remain constant at Rs 803 per 14.2-kg cylinder.
